Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-724:
------------------------------------
The timestamp meta information could be added to regular data packets as well. My plan is
not to send heartbeats periodically. Instead a heartbeat is sent only if the connection is
idle for too long time.

> In the new pipeline design, pipeline close is implemented by sending an additional empty
packet. If one of the datanode does not response to this empty packet, the pipeline hangs.
It seems that there is no timeout.
